I understood this section was for partners and friends of survivors to support each other regarding the difficulties we face living with the issues or just to have someone to talk to anonymously, friends & family may not know what is happening.

I can no longer give my husband support in his recovery because he does not wish to recover. I can however be here for Marsha and listen to her concerns which are valid and real. We do sometimes get off topic but that is what we need on occasion, just to blow off steam. The conversation is not just intended for just Marsha and I but there are not a lot of people who post under partners & friends. If you find our conversations unnecessary to you we will be sure to keep all of our posts labeled HELP and you can please disregard them.Regards, Tink

I LOVE THE PIDGEON - STATUE QUOTE! THAT JUST ABOUT SUMS IT UP! THINGS ARE GOOD NOW THAT WE'RE HOME. I DO NOT THINK THAT WE WILL GO TO HIS FAMILIY'S OVER THE HOLIDAYS. HOW ARE YOU FEELING. THIS WILL BE A TOUGH TIME FOR YOU, TOO.

I, TOO, WROTE TO SHELBY. SHE IS WHERE WE WERE AT. I FEEL SO BAD FOR HER. DO YOU FEEL ANY SENSE OF CLOSURE? ONCE YOU DO, I'M SURE IT WILL GIVE YOU MORE PEACE.

Hey Marsha, I am doing ok and he is finally going to therapy, I hope he finds his way. I have not gotten any closure because he shows up at home around midnight every night and calls 4-5 times a day, he is having a really rough time. I miss him.Glad to hear things are going better for you ... does your husbands depression get bad this time of year? It would be nice if the husbands would post here sometimes, they could use the help.Till we meet again!Tink

ALL IS PRETTY GOOD ON THE HOMEFRONT. I LOVE THE STATUE SAYING. THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS THINGS UP. I, TOO, RESPONDED TO SHELBY. I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR HER. SHE SEEMS TO BE WHERE WE WERE A FEW MONTHS AGO. EACH SITUATION IS SO DIFFERENT. THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR ONE IS NOT ALWAYS THE RIGHT DECISION FOR ANOTHER. IT REALLY GETS COMPLICATED.

RIGHT NOW IS MY HUSBAND'S "BUSY SEASON" AT WORK, SO HE HAS BEEN WORKING LIKE CRAZY. AFTER NEW YEAR'S, HE SLOWS DOWN AGAIN. I SPOKE TO HIS MOM THE OTHER DAY AND FOR SOME REASON, SHE THINKS THAT WE ARE COMING UP IN JANUARY. (WE'RE NOT) IT WAS SUCH AN AWFUL VISIT FOR MY HUSBAND, EMOTIONALY, AND FOR ME BECAUSE OF RUNNING INTO THAT CREEP. IN HER DEFENSE, SHE IS UNAWARE OF ALL OF THIS "BEHIND THE SCENES" STUFF, BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW TO GO ABOUT TELLING HER THAT FOR QUITE SOME TIME, HER SON CANNOT COME HOME.I'M NOT ALL THAT WORRIED ABOUT IT THOUGH.

HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING WITH YOUR HUSBAND. WHAT'S GOING ON. HAVE YOU MADE ANY PLANS FOR THE FUTURE? KEEP ME POSTED. YOU ARE DOING GREAT! I HOPE THAT YOU KNOW THAT. YOU ARE BEING VERY STRONG AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU.

HEY TINK,I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO POST ANYMORE. I READ YOUR RESPONSE TO ASH AND YOU ARE REALLY DOING GREAT! ARE YOU FEELING ANY BETTER. YOU SOUND SO MUCH STRONGER. HAS HE STOPPIED CALLING YOPU SO MUCH? WHERE ARE THE TWO OF YOU AT?
